Rutgers Breaks Through in the Second Quarter to Earn Halftime Lead

The Cincinnati Bearcats ran into a very stingy Rutgers defense.

The Cats best scoring chance went wide right on a 34-yard field goal attempt by Tony Miliano.

Camerron Cheatham intercepted a pass by Gary Nova at the Cincinnati 17 to thwart the Scarlet Knights best scoring chance.

Nova made up for the gaffe.  Ryan Logan gave Nova a chance when he picked off Brendon Kay's attempt at a touchdown pass at the Rutgers' three yard line.  Nova found Mark Harrison behind the Cincinnati secondary for a 71-yard touchdown pass, four plays later.

The score with 6:13 left in the half was the only score of the half.

Dominque Battle intercepted a pass in the end zone to save the Bearcats from a larger halftime deficit.  The interception came on a third and eight from the Cincinnati 18 with 32 seconds left.  Rutgers would have probably attempted a 35-yard field goal without the pick.

Rutgers operated without its leading rusher, Jawan Jamison, for most  of the half.  Jamison, who came into the game with a tender ankle, had just two carries for 29 yards.
